[@artlover4668]

I don't think anyone can fully understand how radical and revolutionary this album was in 1991. When I first heard the opening riffs of "The Fly" on the radio, I was like thinking......is this "f"ing U2????? You can dislike Bono all you want, but admit, his Fly persona was pure genius

[@ipiap]

It feels much more radical and revolutionary now. But nobody is listening.

[@Io-Io-Io]

Bono is one of the greats. That's just a fact. To say otherwise is just the expression of envy and resentment

[@ericn1450]

I think the album is really good but revolutionary it is not. I mean the dance elements are straight Up Happy Mondays rips per the Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches album.

[@tommyz9910]

It was pure fun!

[@iliasmess]

Exactly. The opening riff from this is so satisfying and shows a group so much more mature than Rattle and Hum, willing to explore new paths but always influenced by the giants before them... Bowie, Zeppelin ( Edge's pants pay homage to Page's dragon suit here) are stronger influences than ever on this one. Colossal album, cannot be topped

I was intrigued - this was unheard of in those days! A WTF moment happened soon after & I've been hooked on U2 ever since! "The Fly" blew me away, it was sonically brilliant & so f*cking different to anything I had listened to before! I went out in my Dad's car that night with the "The Fly" on tape and turned that f*cker up loud. It was just what an 18 year old boy needed to hear at the time in his life! "Achtung Baby" followed, it was inspiring & turned me on to the Greatest Rock n Roll Band from the "North" side of Dublin. I've now seen U2 over 30 times live from New York, Berlin, Dublin to my hometown of Glasgow! They have never let me down - Thank you Boy's! #thefly #achtungbaby #everythingyouknowiswrong #watchmoretv #deathisacareermove

I was already a huge U2 fan at 16 years old when this came out. I was counting the days until this video premiered in MTV. I remember getting to the tv 30 min early just so I wouldn’t miss it. I remember saying to myself once it ended “I’m not sure what I just saw/heard, but I LOVED IT! Hands down the greatest evolution of a band in rock history. When Bono said “we need to go away and dream it all up again”, he wasn’t kidding. My favorite album of all time.

[@alanmoote9323]

EXACTLY HOW I FELT

[@jjwankenobi]

One year prior to this single, U2 hinted at their new direction when their cover of Cole Poter's "Night + Day" was released (from the AIDS benefit compilation album "Red, Hot and Blue"). Watch the video and listen to the song: it's a fascinating collision of post-Rattle And Hum era U2 set to a pre-Achtung Baby sonic landscape. When welding-goggle wearing Bono appeared I was personally blindsided by how much fun they seemed to be finally having. Gone were the poe-faced, waist coat and Stetson-wearing Irish dudes homaging American music. Replaced by a slick, Euro-clad, version of the band that embraced exotic sounds of the alternative industrial scene while heralding the electronic soundscape to come.

I've been a U2 fan since 1984 and I've only ever been shocked by the band twice, and both shocks came via the same thing ... this song. I knew they were 'going away to dream it all up again' so we'd be getting something a little bit different when we would see the band for a first time in the nineties. Dave Fanning gave the song its first air play on RTE's 2 FM radio in Ireland and it blew me away. They wanted something different and this was and is different. I love a heavy kind of music so I loved this song right away, I just was not prepared for how different it would be from anything which came before. Of course in 1991 we had no KZbin, no iphones, laptops or anything of the kind so to see the video we would have to wait for MTV to play it. Back then MTV were indeed still playing music and shock number two came when I did see the video for a first time. Not only did they sound very different to what they previously were, they looked oh so different too. Again I liked it. U2 are a band who have changed so, so much over the years but at no other point in their career had they altered themselves as much as they did in such a short time as they did between 1988 and 1991 or rather since New Years Eve coming into 1990 and October/November of 1991.

Ten years ago a British magazine put “Achtung Baby!’ as the most influential and hence, the best album of tha past 25 years, thus back to 1985 or so, even superior to “The Joshua Tree”, and I couldn’t agree more. This album was the one who convinced me of making an enduring bond with the band which I flirted with before, and leave the rest as occasional affairs.

I really wish they had explored more of this darker aesthetic and music, U2's artistic peak for sure

[@kevinkeenan6078]

They did on Zooropa,Passengers and Pop.

[@krypto_9872]

@@kevinkeenan6078 pop is very dark if you listen to it. It's one of my favorite albums ever

Dark U2 is the best U2. Don’t let POP fool you. That is dark beautiful masterpiece in its own rite.

[@leonboyd1973]

An album so far ahead of its time, that we are still trying to catch up, even after 30 years

[@TheYazmanian]

It blew me away when I first heard it. My heart and soul could barely handle it.

[@kevinmcdonald1490]

Unfortunately, they haven't made anything to this level since. Still love them but their creativity has been lacking since this and Zooropa.

[@AlyoshaK840]

I love the harmonics Edge incorporates into this guitar solo. Such a unique awesome sound.

[@korkyrougewhite864]

Might have said it before but…. The harmonies, guitar, bass n drums - it’s no secret 1991 what a year x

[@bonovoz71]

When this song came out (before the album) it BLEW MY MIND! Edge.......what a guitar solo. 30+ years later and it still gives me chills.

[@wahillyman]

such an exciting time to be alive. looking back, the 90s was as transformative as the 60s. Multimedia, digital media and WWW! U2 were there with ZOOTV and later POPMART..watching them in th 90s..you felt like anything was possible

[@keithohalloran7861]

The Fly, the last of the rock stars. Best album ever

[@JP-ms7uh]

Been a U2 fan since the start…this is the music of my life. Had the great lifetime opportunity of being at 3 ZooTV shows back in the day and over 30 years later, full circle at the Sphere!! God Bless U2, may The Fly live forever, AND “Everything You Know is Wrong” !!!😊

[@lonkylaine]

2:32 the genius of Adam Clayton. Got to hear that live during ZooTv. Those 8 seconds worth all the ticket's price.

[@kentr1431]

Best U2 song?

[@Rob-lc7ku]

Hell yeah

[@CristianCifuentesRiquelme]

First time I listened this song on 1991 it was like a explosion to my head. So much different from the previous work. The equalised voice from outer space sounded so hysterical for the new age that was media hype for everyone, previous internet.

[@robertwuster5102]

This is U2's all time best song

[@GouganeBarra-u4t]

For me, the Edge is the coolest member of the band... if he sat down opposite me in a bar, I'd be completely star struck. His guitar music is the heartbeat of the band... and Bonos voice is the icing on the cake.

[@inputerase]

One of the best albums ever recorded. And the U2 Zoo TV Tour is still amazing 🤩

[@allspark2370]

I can’t believe it... finally... an official music video of The Fly!

This is the official video from 1991, when the single was first released.
